You probably can, but I think it would be a significant challenge. You have to support the weight of the engine and trans in a way that doesn't impede changing out the subframe or cause damage. If you do use that approach, I suggest 3 points of reliable support. You can get the engine bridge for $65 on Amazon and it will save you time and energy. Good luck with your project.

I don't know if a Forrester one will fit.

Thank you.

My fenders are modified beyond rolling (cut and bent). My original plan was to go wide so I didn't do much research in terms of wheel size restrictions to keep it flush. I don't think JNC makes sizes that will fit our cars well, but enkei and other Japanese manufacturers should have more OEM friendly sizes.

@@RyKingUploads thank you for the reply, very helpful, I will keep searching around

It should, I'd say I'm 98% sure. The best way to confirm is to look up the part numbers on the Subaru parts site and see if they match. If you're looking for an aftermarket one I'd ask the company directly. I'm sure there are plenty of modified wagons out there.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It should be very similar because it's the same engine. There may be slight differences in what surrounds the engine.

I don't know if they make a bolt on kit for GC. My car has 2004 WRX steering knuckles. I suggest contacting R1 concepts directly for fitment and pricing.

Thank you

You can reuse the bolt and use new crush washers. The filter can be removed.

Thanks for watching. Yeah, transitioning from street driving to hot lapping requires a mental reset and focus.

No, you have to cut the bolts once you've set the proper height. This part can be found at time 7:30 in the video.

@@RyKingUploads that’s what I just found as I’m installing mine but with the headlights still in. Thanks for the feedback I must’ve missed that part when skipping around.

You're welcome. I hope everything goes well with your install. If you hit any snags feel free to ask here or on my other social media accounts (links are in the description).

Try contacting them.

I'm glad it was helpful, thanks for watching.

I'm sorry to hear about your father, that must be difficult. I hope you and your family will find peace. In terms of the project, the first thing to figure out why you are doing the swap (like what are your goals in terms of drivability and performance). This should be fairly specific. Once you figure out what you want out of the car I can help point you in a direction. If your family are mechanics it will be helpful even if they don't know Subarus specifically. Imprezas from 93-07 are relatively low tech, so most of the work is anolog mechanics. There are tried and true resources for the wiring and tuning if there is a familiarity issue. Sometimes things can be overwhelming, and I think it's best to take things one step at a time. I have a playlist for this project that goes over swap options, swap notes, and installs. They should give you a general idea of what's in front of you. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching

Wow man thanks for the reply to my vent! I appreciate your time and consideration.

I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.

You're welcome, thanks for watching.

In a relaxed environment (at home, but no breaks) both methods 2-3 hrs. If I was on the clock, about 1-1.5 hrs. Removing the intake manifold just makes the turbo a more accessible. Prob ads about 30min to R&R the manifold. Speed also depends on experience and tools. A variety of extensions and wobble sockets come in handy in tight spaces.

@@RyKingUploads cheers mate.... Handy to know

Thanks for watching and the feedback. I'm glad this is helpful.

Hi, thanks for watching! I believe a 2000 should already have the updated headlights. You will need to get the marker light housings for the bumper though. I didn't know the sedan and wagons had different front fenders, what is the difference?

@@RyKingUploads yeah the previous owner had put new headlights so I’ll just try to get the rs signals. And I was referring to the wide body fenders I guess. However I’ve heard they can be pretty hard to install so that’s definitely further down on the list

Thanks, @blipshiftapex9047 might be able to help you out with that.

There are a couple options in regards to the wiring. I used the parking light connector and wired the turn signal wiring to it. You can do the opposite for where the turn signal was. So now the turn signal is next to the headlight and the parking light is in the bumper. Another way to do it is to source (or make) a double filament bulb & socket that fits the original parking light housing. From there you can wire both parking and turn signals into the same position. If you do this make sure you wire the turn signal to the brighter filament side so it works properly visually.

If your jdm bumper has the large round fog light space you will most likely have to replace or modify the crash bar (if you're starting with an Impreza L). If you are just replacing the bumper you don't have to change the lights, grill, or hood.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you appreciate the work.

The subframe came with new bolts, so I used those. I'm not sure if the oem bolts will fit.
